ABSTRACT
This chapter examines verb endings that operate as sentence endings. These endings are used to round-off a sentence and do not need to be followed by any other element.
When left in their bare form, all of these sentence endings will be interpreted as being the non-honorific intimate speech style (see 4.3.5). To make the sentence honorific (and suitable for use when addressing superiors, elders, non-intimates and strangers), –㣪 (the polite speech style ending, see 4.3.3) should be added. These sentence endings cannot occur with any other style, such as the formal (see 4.3.4) and the plain (see 4.3.6).
